For this week’s featured video, we want to share the replay of the Discover Dominica’s “Work in Nature” programme, an event we co-hosted with the Discover Dominica Authority.
Hundreds of millions of people have been working from home over the past year since the COVID-19 pandemic began. During the ongoing lockdowns, people’s homes have also become their offices, as well as where they exercise, and socialize through Zoom or Slack. While a high percentage of workers want to remain working remotely post-pandemic, they are also seeking freedom and a return to a significantly more varied lifestyle.
If this is the case for you, then the beautiful Caribbean island of Dominica could be the perfect option. The Dominican government has created an enticing new programme called ‘Work In Nature‘ (WIN) to attract remote workers from around the world.
On the event, I talked with Samantha Letang, a representative from Discover Dominica, as well as Hannah Gaventa, a remote worker on the island, about the details and many benefits of Dominica’s new WIN programme.
Watch the video to find out more.

COVID-19 Island Insights Series: St. Helena And Fernando De Noronha
This week on the COVID-19 Island Insights Series, we are focusing on St. Helena and Fernando de Noronha.
Although similarly sized in terms of population, these two insights from the South Atlantic paint rather different pictures of the ways in which their islands have been impacted by the global pandemic.
